Abstract excerpt
The design of synthetic polymers may affect structural features of inflammatory cells, for example the expression of endogenous sugar receptor molecules like lectins in macrophages and foreign body giant multinucleate cells. This characteristic was studied histochemically by use of biotinylated (neo)glycoproteins. The results demonstrate the influence of polymer structure on the phenotypic expression of molecules...
